XTRA II

High-Power, Single-Frequency Diode Laser

  • Typical linewidth <10 MHz
  • Ideal source for Raman applications
  • Up to 500mW @ 785nm
  • Fiber coupling available
  • ASE suppression > 40dB

The XTRA II provides three top features from one single unit: Gaussian beam profile, single-frequency operation and high output power. Incoherent ASE is suppressed by more than 40 dB, turning the XTRA II into the ideal choice for demanding Raman applications depending on a high signal-to-noise ratio. The integration of a high quality optical isolator as a standard feature ensures long term rock solid performance of the XTRA II.

  • Options

    Fiber Option – FiberDock XTRA II
    To provide full flexibility for OEM integrators, single-mode fiber-coupling is available on demand. Contrary to competing multimode lasers, the XTRA II achieves 250 mW output from a single-mode or even polarization-maintaining fiber. The fiber add-on consists of TOPTICA's patented FiberDock and an additional 35 dB optical isolator. Thus, highest coupling efficiency combined with best wavelength stability is guaranteed.

     

    Fiber output collimator – FiberOut
    Some applications demand a fiber-coupled laser and beam collimation at the end of a fiber. To provide a comprehensive solution, the FiberOut turns the divergent beam at the fiber end into a collimated beam again (0.5 mm - 4 mm @ 1/e² CA: 4.8 mm). FC/APC connectors are standard, others can be accommodated.
